Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Israel's High Court of Justice and the Israel Police have taken separate actions following settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. The High Court ordered the state to provide security and allow three Palestinian families to return to homes from which they were expelled by settlers. During the proceedings, justices questioned the state regarding why police failed to arrest suspects identified in footage and why soldiers were filmed playing soccer with the settlers who seized the homes.
Separately, Israel Police announced the arrest of two Israeli teenagers on suspicion of involvement in violent attacks on the Palestinian village of Kusra. The first suspect, a 19 year old from the Shomron area, was found with a knife, a penknife, tear gas, and an airsoft rifle in his vehicle. The second suspect is an 18 year old from the Jordan Valley who is currently in active mandatory IDF service. These arrests follow the previous detention of a West Bank resident in connection with the same attacks. Police stated that the investigation involved the Shin Bet and the use of technological tools to collect evidence.
